Erectile dysfunction

Pompa your GP won't make you feel uncomfortable.tell yourself that one of his colleagues may be prescribing it for him. It has another name these days and perhaps if you requested that you might not feel uncomfortable. Calling Galen, can you look in your data sheets and find out its not so well known name?

A 92 year old relative of mine wanted to get viagra when he took up with a young fancy woman. He was very angry indeed when it was refused because of his heart condition - he thought it was ageist! He died at 94, still fighting his corner,

I meant you can find inter reactions on line. I agree, DO NOT BUY ON LINE

On line gives all the information needed. No chemist would dispense it if a patient was on drugs that would inter react. They have programs that warn them if that would be the case

You can go to chemist and enquire about it, some chemists can sell, do not go online for it though.

I agree, could get Viagra online, but would not risk it without my DRs consent.

Many men with erectile disfunction have heart problem and are on the type of medication which would make taking Viagra very dangerous- and just not worth it.

Oh! the grin was for galen!

Richard, just PM'd you.

A long, long time ago when the performance of one's organ seemed to be of paramount importance it was common practice to discuss measures that could be used to assist stamina and good shooting, as it were. Somebody said they had read that oranges were the answer, so out he went out bought a large bag of Jaffas and scoffed the lot. Nothing happened for 24 hours then his organ assumed monstrous proportions and would not deflate for a couple of days or so. None of the rest if us felt inclined to follow his example. Whether it was the oranges or something else we never found out.

We found it efficient, but the GP was reluctant to prescribe the required dosage, he had to be instructed by the consultant.
He also (imo) underestimated the frequency with which it was required!

Great to see a serious thread discussing a taboo problem that affects so many men. It may seem an amusing subject, but it is not to those involved.

I have problems, probably caused by a combination of anti depressants and a pituitary tumour which causes a lowered testosterone level. I did try treatment for the testosterone but the side effects were unacceptable. They will not operate on the tumour unless it causes sight problems.

I can achieve an erection, but cannot maintain it long enough. Really don't fancy asking the Dr. for Viagra. Richard, those rings sound as tough they may be the answer.

Sex is certainly not the most important thing in our marriage, but it would be nice occasionally.

I would appreciate your experiences of asking for and using Viagra.

For all us male "MEMBERS" how apt that word is!with a touch of ED, i had the same problem, a friend suggested "cock rings" I found some on Amazon of all places, the ones I have are three simple silicone maybe rings, you get three it is recommended to put one around your testies one or two on your shaft, they are quite comfy, my lady says they make my equipment look sexy, they certainly help me get a very hard erection.

The first time we used them it was super great sex, a day or so later we were both sore, maybe friction burns Ha. we think it maybe the material they are made from that affected us, we now put Vaseline on the rings first, no more problems now, sex life is much better now, simple cure/help.

I also use them for self satisfaction too, great stuff.
They are not expensive either.
Hope this helps some of you blokes out there.

I will be 69 soon.

Happy new year.

Hi Maniac [sorry - not on subject] nice to see you!

Age Concern (now Age UK ) published a book in 2004 by Dr Sarah Brewer 'Intimate Relations' -Living and Loving in Later life.
Don't know if still available -your library may have it.
A very well written book with a chapter on 'Male Sexual problems in Later Life' -including info and advice on ED.

My late husband had the same problem following his op for Ca bowel. Viagra in large doses helped. There are implants and various devices available. One involves an implant with an implanted reservoir of fluid that when squeezes erects the penis.
I miss my DH and would happily do without the sex if I still had him

Thanks for the link to the programme - I look forward to listening to it!

"Is the Double Entendre in Rude Health?
Duration: 28 minutes
First broadcast: Tuesday 26 August 2014
Arthur Bostrom examines the origins and colourful history of the double entendre and asks if this comic device is upholding its reputation as a firm favourite or whether its popularity is starting to droop."

Ok then never did like being told off.

Well said Mishap, as always!

Behave sue

A little gentle humour does no harm - and it chimes with the feelings of the OP. It's not about being grown up, but being sensitive. Some people may not find it as easy to talk about as others.

The spirit of the message is what is important.
